Written by the authors of the best-selling introductory programming text in Turbo Pascal, this text uses Turbo Pascal to teach the data structures and software engineering topics covered in a CS2 course with an emphasis on data abstraction and the use of abstract data types. After introducing an object-oriented programming paradigm in chapter 1, Koffman and Maxim balance an object-oriented approach with the traditional approach to the material throughout the book. This book contains the classic, proven Koffman pedagogical features like case studies, program style sections, syntax display boxes, end-of- section exercises, common error sections, chapter reviews, quick-check exercises, and programming projects.Features * Balances an object-oriented approach with the traditional approach. * Uses Turbo Pascal to teach Data Structures (CS2). * erves as the ideal follow-up book to Koffman's Turbo Pascal, but also works as a second book to any CS1 text. * Contains the classic, proven Koffman pedagogical features like case studies, program style sections, syntax display boxes, end-of-section exercises, common error sections, chapter reviews, quick-check exercises, and programming projects. * Koffman is one of the country's foremost computer science educators, and a former chairman of the ACM Task Force for introductory programming methods courses. He is author of a number of successful language texts in Modula-2 and FORTRAN, in addition to his best-selling books on Pascal and Turbo Pascal. * Supplements: Instructor's Manual On-Line 0201156245B04062001
